Names for Companies – 5 Common Mistakes
Our company naming experts share their insights on what to avoid when selecting a name for a company. So if you’re looking for great names for companies, stay clear of these common naming mistakes:
Mistake #1: Long Company Names. Don’t select a company name that is too long in length. Keep your company name short – ideally eleven characters or fewer. Avoid hyphens and dashes. They’ll only confuse your customers.
Mistake #2: Difficult Spelling. Stay away from odd spellings and company names that are difficult to pronounce. If your customers can’t say your company name or can’t spell it, you’re likely to lose their business.
Mistake #3: Too Limiting. Keep clear of names that are limiting in scope or fail to allow for expandability. It is important to consider your business beyond your original concept and have a company name that can grow with you.
Mistake #4: Unavailable Dot.com Domain. You must be able to acquire the dot.com domain extension. The dot.com extension means business. Don’t settle for .org, .net or a country code extension. If you do, you’ll simply drive business to your competitors.
Mistake #5: Name in Use. Stay away from company names that are similar or confusingly similar to another firm. You’ll want to build your own unique company identity that differentiates you from your competitors. Your company name should be unique and free of trademark restrictions.
